India-China Border Dispute

The India-China border dispute revolves around overlapping claims in the Himalayan region, notably in areas like Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh. China considers Aksai Chin part of its territory, while India claims it as part of Ladakh. Conversely, India recognizes Arunachal Pradesh as its own, but China claims it as South Tibet. The border is not clearly demarcated, leading to tensions and occasional conflicts. Both countries seek control over strategic areas, driven by historical, territorial, and security considerations, making the dispute complex and sensitive. Dialogues and agreements aim to manage escalation, but underlying disagreements remain unresolved.
